While some news outlets point out that Biden's voting record on abortion used to be more moderate, Biden's stance on abortion has shifted dramatically throughout his political career. Originally a strong proponent of the Hyde Amendment, a policy that prevented federal tax dollars from funding elective abortions, he now advocates against the policy. Additionally, conservative pundits argue that more radical pro-abortion voices such as Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders are pulling candidate Joe Biden's policy agenda even further in support of abortion.
Biden's vice-presidential selection, California Senator Kamala Harris, voted against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act earlier this year. The bill would have legally protected children who survive attempted abortions by creating criminal penalties for abortionists who don't provide them medical care after they are born.
While it might be somewhat unclear just how pro-abortion the Democratic presidential ticket is this election, it is blatantly obvious that the ticket unequivocally supports the practice of ending unborn lives.
